BoBa Network Hackathon Idealist

1. Security; Major new functionality

  • Cross-chain bridging/fast exits using inclusion proofs from other chains to trigger changes on Boba
  • 2FA on tx level
  • Protect custom trading strategies by keeping key logic off-chain
  • Build meta-transactions on Boba (with/without Turing)
  • Build on-chain(contract level) name resolver with Turing (ENS, Unstoppable Domains etc)

2.DeFi

  • Reduce slippage and increase the performance of stable-swap algorithms by off-loading most of the math to Turing

3.Education/Gaming

  • An educational app where you get badges for completing certain tasks or puzzles
  • PvP NFT battle game using Turing VRF to determine NFT traits e.g. armor rank, weapon rank, etc - earn WAGMI by PVPing Players can pick PvP or PvE on a simple map in browser (kinda like super Mario land map)
  • Boba Chess?

4.Buy real things with Crypto

  • Participate in eBay auctions via smart contracts

5.IRL<>Crypto; Rewards; Motivation

  • Integrate real-world events with a crypto settlement layer - any service that exposes an API can now be connected to on-chain settlements (Social Networking, Music, Games)

6.Memorialize in-game events and milestones with game-status NFTs

  • An app that motivates you to get up early or focus on things. Users deposit tokens to participate and get rewards if they achieve some milestones, like getting up early for 30 days.
  • An app that requires users to click a button every day and watch an advertisement. Once they continuously do it for 30 days, they get some Boba tokens back.
  • Users test apps, find bugs, open PRs, and get Boba as the reward

7.Creative Content

  • Generate video and audio based on on-chain inputs and sell and share the content
  • Build on-chain versions of Tik-Tok and Facebook
  • Surveys can be on-chain/decentralized to some degree
  • Generative art on L2 blocks/ block-time/ commit roots etc

About Boba Network

Boba Network is a next-generation Ethereum Layer 2 Optimistic Rollup scaling solution that reduces gas fees, improves transaction throughput, and extends the capabilities of Ethereum. Our Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) equivalent Layer 2 ORU helps Ethereum smart contracts scale while delivering a delightful user experience.

Boba’s proprietary Turing hybrid compute technology enables Ethereum developers to build dApps that trigger code executed on web-scale infrastructure such as AWS Lambda, making it possible to leverage sophisticated algorithms that are far too expensive, far too slow, or otherwise practically impossible to execute on-chain.

Boba Network aims to deliver a faster, cheaper, more seamless experience for the next billion users of Ethereum. Learn More About Boba Network Website | Telegram | Twitter | Discord
